The authors present a case report of a 7-year-old girl with Langerhans cell histiocytosis of temporal bone. Edema and bone destruction involved zygomatic process of temporal bone and temporal fossa without ear occupation. The role of picturing diagnosis in evaluation of lesion extent with special importance of scintigraphy is discussed. Treatment methods of Langerhans cell histiocytosis lesions in temporal bone are presented. In our case locally Depo-Medrol injection was given and radiation was left as last resort management.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D004803 Eosinophilic Granuloma The most benign and common form of Langerhans-cell histiocytosis which involves localized nodular lesions predominantly of the bones but also of the gastric mucosa, small intestine, lungs, or skin, with infiltration by EOSINOPHILS.

D013701 Temporal Bone Either of a pair of compound bones forming the lateral (left and right) surfaces and base of the skull which contains the organs of hearing. It is a large bone formed by the fusion of parts: the squamous (the flattened anterior-superior part), the tympanic (the curved anterior-inferior part), the mastoid (the irregular posterior portion), and the petrous (the part at the base of the skull).
